124 - Curtains

    A director holds extended auditions for six women at his mansion.  A masked killer is picking people off.
    An early 80’s slasher, it’s probably one of the more charming ones.  The premise is good, the set pieces used to knock people off are fun.
    The biggest problem is that there are too many characters to keep track of, and most of them are hard to care about.  I also felt like the ending was telegraphed pretty well in advance, although some people seemed to be surprised by the switch up.  But now that I think of it, the ending is a bit clever.  Not wildly clever, but just enough for it to be worthwhile.
